When Pastor John Goodale turned age 60, he realized he wanted to make the most of his remaining years of life.  In this broadcast, he recalls how many leaders in the Bible started out strong in their faith but failed to stay true to God by the end of their lives (eg. the kings of Israel, King Solomon, King David, etc.). Pastor Goodale explains how to leave behind a godly legacy through everyday kindness, rather than trying to become famous.

Helping Your Child Develop Resilience (Part 1 of 2)

Rebecca St. James, and Joel and Luke Smallbone from the band, For King & Country, share how God provided for them in their time of need through family prayer and the support of other believers. It’s an inspiring story of faith, pointing to their new movie, Unsung Hero, releasing in theatres on April 26.
 
You don’t have to move your family across an ocean to experience many of the same issues the Smallbone family did in Unsung Hero. Helping families navigate through life’s challenges is at the heart of what Focus on the Family does. Though the Smallbone family didn’t have our incredible resources available to help them through, you do! Journey through scenes from the movie and see what Focus on the Family would have shared with them in that moment. We hope it helps you too.
